Just curious if “number of panels” is a genuine metric by which financial terminals are judged?
The only real metric by which financial terminals are judged is "Why don't we have any bloombergs? The bond traders are throwing a hissy fit."
This.

#33So refreshing for me to see a high data density display. It highlights for me how the norm is to display more “white space” than information.

This is great work! Where are you getting your data from? Finding quality data sources is difficult
As far as I know, finding quality data sources is virtually impossible unless you already have so much money that your involvement in the stock market is either because you have insider knowledge or severe boredom owing to your never needing to work a day in your life. I remember some startup selling a stock market data API as a subscription. I don’t think they exist anymore. So anyone who spent weeks, months of thei…
You can buy historical data at least from some reputable vendors, although you're still responsible to understand their collection process (sampling frequency, timestamp conventions, corporate action adjustments etc etc), as even 'obvious' things like how daily stock levels are reconstructed based on intraday data can mess up your analytics really bad.
I don't think it generalizes to real-time data.

The real moat of the Bloomberg terminals is the messaging feature that connects you to the other traders.
Fascinating. It’s called Instant Bloomberg and it’s just AOL instant messenger but only between Bloomberg Terminals. So that is absolutely the “data that insiders rely on that pedestrians will never have” and I’m sure it offers tremendous advantage and may explain why stocks trend in a direction for extended periods of time absent any public news. I mean there’s no way average joes like us stand a chance doing anythi…
I disagree on us average joes not standing a chance. It's pretty easy to ride the wave of popular stocks or commodities simply by following the macro trends in the news and staying informed on global developments.
It's more risky than index funds, but being able to ride a bit of the Nvidia hype and then de-risking those proceeds into an index fund is nice.
You'll probably never win with day-trading or HFT though.

What do you mean? It says used AI in the title. That already implies it doesn't actually work.
Strong disagree on AI implying it doesn’t actually work. Staff engineers at FAANG are vibe coding these days and their stuff absolutely works.
I use Gemini CLI and given the might of all their engineers and AI tools, the features they ship are constantly buggy and broken.
It's so easy to pump out borderline useless functionality with AI that nobody is actually testing or designing it.

#37I built Neuberg because I’d always wanted a Bloomberg Terminal, but as an independent trader, I just couldn’t justify paying $24,000 a year for it. So I decided to build my own with Claude Code. It’s a real-time trading terminal covering fixed income, derivatives, commodities, equities, credit, macro, and alternative assets, with 516 panels in total. You can freely drag, drop, and arrange them however you like. What…
Most of the value of the Bloomberg terminal is the data, not the number of panels
as someone who worked at TR (now Refinitiv) and then Bloomberg, it's not even the data. it's IB. After IB it's the data. :)

UI
I’m curious about the UI development. What sort of prompts did you give? Ie look like this or look like that? Or did you specify the qualities?

As someone that worked for the spin out from GS, then got acquired by TR, then sold off to Blackstone, I wonder how much of our tech debt is still there for you to deal with 10 years later. :)
